Figure, style, material
A statue gathers posture, gesture and gaze in one body that stands in the room. Statues for sale between 2,000 and 5,000 euro come in styles from abstract to expressive and in materials from natural stone to resin.
Abstract statues reduce the body to axes and planes, lifelike ones show joints and folds. Metal gives the figure sharpness, resin allows fine detail and bright color, natural stone makes it heavy and quiet. The same pose reads differently in every material.

Location and effect
In this price class the figure may claim space. A spot with distance from furniture and a calm wall behind it give it presence. Standing figures make rooms feel taller, seated ones bring composure. The floor takes part too, since parquet, tile and carpet change the sound and sheen of a figure.
To check
Center of gravity, weight and base plate decide on safety. With resin and stone, ask about surface treatment. Dimensions, condition, signature and, where relevant, edition number should be noted.
